One Wife Leader
GOD SAID JUST ONE WIFE MINISTRY LEADERS:
" The husband of one wife biblical teaching in 1 Timothy 3:2 mean!"
Amazing Holy Spirit please take over this word in Jesus Name. Amen
Word time with Apostle James Winfree Sr/ I'm Still teaching!!!
There are one possible interpretation of the biblical teaching husband of one wife in 1 Timothy 3:2 (ESV). 1) It simply saying that a polygamist is not qualified to be an elder, a deacon or a pastor or any spiritual leader. This is the most literal interpretation of the English rendering of the word, but seems somewhat unlikely considering that polygamy was quite rare in the time that Apostle Paul was writing, because Jesus has just One Body and His leaders must have one wife. The Greek could literally be translated as “one-woman man.” In other words, a church leader must be absolutely loyal to the woman he is married to.
This interpretation acknowledges that the original text focuses not on marital status but on moral purity. 3) The holy word means to understood to declare that, in order to be an elder/deacon/pastor, or any leader in Christ Kingdom a man can only have been married once, other than in the case of a remarried widower; in other words, a spiritual church leader cannot be a divorcé and be in leadership.
.
The first qualification of GOD'S spiritual Leadership in Christ meaning elder/deacon/pastor is to be “above reproach” (1 Timothy 3:2). If the divorce and/or remarriage had no biblical grounds, then the man has damaged his testimony in the church and community; the “above reproach” qualification will exclude him from the pastorate rather than the “husband of one wife” requirement. An elder/deacon/pastor is to be a man whom the church and community can look up to as an example of Christ likeness and godly leadership.
If a past divorce and/or remarriage detracts from this ideal, then he should not serve in the position of elder/deacon/pastor. It is important to remember that, even though a man is disqualified from serving as an elder/deacon/pastor, he is still a valuable member of the body of Christ. Every Christ Believer possesses spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4–7) and is called to participate in edifying other Believers with those gifts (1 Corinthians 12:7).
A man who is disqualified from the position of elder/deacon/pastor can still teach, preach, serve, pray, worship, and play an important role in the church. Yes, Jesus Christ has only One Spirit, One wife, One Body, One Bride, One Church, and We have only One GOD our heavenly Father. Amen.
" WE SUPPORT ALL THOSE WE LOVE AND RESPECT "
Well?
Jesus said He loves happy givers!!!
